FYI - Board Flood interval set to 30

Every day I am having to delete duplicate posts from impatient people so to try to curb this I have upped the time you have to wait between posts to 30 seconds.

Everyone please be patient when starting a new topic, it takes a copuple of seconds because the script is emailing out the details of the new topic to all the members subscribed to recieve new topic notifications, this takes about 10-20 seconds so give it that much time before hammering on the submit button again and creating a duplicate post!

Thanks,

Bart B.,
IFAS Webmaster.

Hi Bart,
Sometimes impatience isn't the problem. I know I'm guilty of double posting at times, but on acassions I have hit the submit button, which apparantly should submit the post then take you to your posting, but I have on occassion been looking at what I have written, with no way of telling me if it is posted or not, but it says "done" so I have been under the impression that I didn't hit the submit button properly and did again, this has then taken me to the posting only to find it has double posted. Not sure if this is a quirk of my PC or the forum.

If you've double posted just go to one and delete it yourself

Click the X in the top right on the offending post.

Hmmm ... that sounds like a dodgey dial up connection TBH.
